How the Army Is Responding to the Female Rangers' Critics

The historic announcement this week that two soldiers will be the first females to graduate from the U.S. Army’s elite Ranger school has been overwhelmingly met with support and positivity. For those expressing doubt or, at worst, sexism over the announcement, the Army seems to have one response: Not on our turf. When the official U.S. Army Fort Benning Facebook page posted the announcement, hundreds of the more than quarter-million followers of the page flocked to post their support.
